>hellacia: IIKLMNO 8D KILIM +32 32
#note Rd 2 Philly virtual 11-28-2021. Looks good to me.
>skaplan31: AHINOOS 7G HO +22 22
#note Yea, this move carries too much risk with the leave and, of course, drawing 2 more vowels. HOO does sim better. Not to mention, AINOS isn't the best leave with an open K and I. #strategymedium
>hellacia: GINNNOS 9C NINON +24 56
>skaplan31: AEINORS I1 ERASION +66 88
#note It's unfortunate that the only placement that is possible will give back a boatload of points the vast majority of the time.
>hellacia: AGIRSVX 1D VIRGA. +42 98
#note That didn't surprise me one bit. I do like this over 1H VEX for 2 reasons: AGIRS is too polarizing of a leave if she were to go for 7s (only 2 Ns left to support that point) and she does save her X while scoring 3 more than VEX.
>skaplan31: ?ABDEFP J6 FED +35 123
#note Looks fine.
>hellacia: CEIOSWX 8J .OXIES +66 164
#note Easily best, nice play.
>skaplan31: ?ABPRRS 10B PAR +20 143
#note This bingo is very hard to find which I did miss, M2 SPAReR(I)B for 80. Not sure I'd ever think to look for something that ended with a B. #findinglarge
>hellacia: CNOQWWZ 11A WOW +19 183
#note Definitely understandable after I just made an S setup, not that she's anywhere near a bingo either way.
>skaplan31: ?BILRST O8 .TRoBILS +86 229
#note STR(O)BILs, STR(O)BILi, etc. do play at K5 for 20 more points. That would have been sweet board vision.
>hellacia: ACDENQZ 3C CADENZ. +40 223
#note 13L QADI does get the Q off, but I like this play too with 4 Us left. And it's 12 more immediately. So she does have a way of dumping the Q next turn.
>skaplan31: ?CEEITU 15H lEUCITE. +80 309
#note Or EUCrITE(S) in the same spot, I don't really have a good argument for 1 over the other.
>hellacia: DEIPQRT M7 Q. +21 244
>skaplan31: AEEHOVY A11 .AVEY +45 354
#note Best play.
>hellacia: DEIPRRT K7 D.PIER +27 271
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: EEHNOOT J10 HOOT +32 386
#note I knew this would be worse in the initial evaluation than J10 HOOT or J10 HOE, but I do like how much more defensive this is than the other 2 candidate plays. There's no more Is left for Column N bingoes (which would score the most for her on average), and it's pretty hard to hit Row 5.
>hellacia: ADFLRTT I11 FLAR. +21 292
>skaplan31: AAEEGNO 4D GENOA. +41 427
#note Easily the play, glad I found this underlap.
>hellacia: DEGSTTY 5C GEY +32 324
>skaplan31: AAEELMU 13A .ALUE +16 443
#note Yea, not seeing any playable bingoes I could hit. Normally 14L MEAL might be better, which I did not see, but this pool just didn't seem to mesh well with a U. I do like this play better anwyay.
>hellacia: BDJSTTU E12 J.T +10 334
>skaplan31: AEMTU 15C MAE +17 460
#note 14L MEA(L) if I'm not gonna do B13 AMA as Robin can block L12 ETU(I). -5 spread points. #endgamemedium
>hellacia: BDSTU 9K .US +28 362
>skaplan31: TU 12E .UT +10 470
#note 6F UT for 1 more.

SPARERIB was a hard one to find, but clearly STROBILS at K5 should not have been missed. At least I saw ways to lock the board down with HOOT and found GENOAS for 41. 2-0 now.
